KK, should I go all in?

Should I keep going all in against unknown opponents with my cowboys when these situations occur. Will it pay off in the long run? What about if opponent was TAG?
All the best!

yeah. He might have AQ. The thing is, your $2.61 bet is kind of pathetic, so he could be raising with trash hoping you'd fold because your raise stinks. Your inviting a raise here, so you almost have to call or re-raise.

But assuming he has something, well, then you're behind. He probably has QQ or AA if not AQ, or maybe a nut flush draw but I doubt it.

Seriously though, given how you played the hand, you asked for him to raise it. Don't second guess your hand. Just call (because calling will extract some more money) and then lead out on the turn. If you re-raise, you're going to lose him (and do that if that's what you really want).

That flop bet is pretty gross...pot that up next time. Villain's holdings could be any two cards at this point.

guess this is a bad beat post.

i make it 3.5 preflop,

i bet 6 on that flop and am happy to get it in.

for me to think twice at 25nl he would have to be a 10/2/1 kind of guy

Your two statements are contradictary.

Since you represented missed overs with your flop bet, you should push. Just pot the flop, if villain pushes then make a read and go with it (I'm happy to get all in here at least 80% of the time).

Please pot the flop next time, I think I will shove over the top here anyway, but I hate the tiny flop bet.
